UNITED STATES PATENTS 5/1907 Huebner 128/79 4 Claims, 2 Drawing FiguresSUPPORT AND EXCITER DEVICE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION There is asubstantial number of males suffering from a disability commonlydescribed as impotence. Such disability may be caused by purely physicalproblems, such as illness or muscular atrophy resulting from advancedage, or by physchologically related difficulties, or by combination ofthe two. Regardless of the cause, the numbers affected are large,estimated to excede 4,000,000 in this country alone, and the effect istraumatic, namely the inability to achieve an erection. Numerous deviceshave obviously been developed in the past for providing stimulation to asexual organ. Some such developments have been more pornographicallythan medically oriented. Some examples of patented devices, resultingfrom a search are US. Pat. Nos. 3,504,665; 3,149,629; 3,633,572; and818,618. However, such prior developments have failed, either by intentor otherwise, to satisfy .the needs of potential users, especially thosesuffering from the debilitating effects of advanced age. It was toprovide an assist to such a group that this applicant, himself a seniorcitizen, directed his invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A handle member includes means therein toimpart vibratory action to an attached support rod. Intermediate theends of such rod, a guide loop is attached thereto. At one end of suchrod, a flexible band is affixed thereto, for circlingly engaging a penishead.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective of the device,and FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Looking at the drawings, thecombination support and exciter device of this invention is identifiedgenerally by the numeral 10. A combination hand-grip andvibrator-containing cylinder is indicated at 11. This latter membercontains therein a means for imparting a vibratory action to member 1 l,and to members associated therewith. The particular vibration impartingmeans is inconsequential, there being numerous such systems available,such as rotating eccentric or unbalanced shafts or flywheels. An on-offswitch is illustrated at 12, which may provide a necessary electricalconnection to allow batteries 31 within cylinder 11 to come in contactwith and actuate a small electric motor 32, which in turn would effectthe necessary vibration.

Extending from one end of cylinder 11, is rod 15. Such rod may have aslight curvature thereto. The functional purpose of such rod istwo-fold. First, it obviously vibrates during use, and thereby impartsvibration to related appendages. Second, it also serves as a penissupport for a user. Intermediate the end of rod 15 positioned within orfixed to cylinder 11, and its other end 14, a loop 16 is fixed to saidrod. The plane of said loop would be approximately normal to the axis ofthe rod. The loop may be a separate toroidal member linked, as bywelding, to rod 15, or the rod may be bent through 360, so as to formits own loop.

At or near end 14 of rod 15, a flexible elastic band 20, such as arubber band, is fixed to such rod. The particular means for so affixingis not critical, but may be of a type so as to allow replacement in theevent of damage to such band.

The intended mode of use is believed to be apparent. A users penis wouldbe inserted through loop 16, with the head extending approximately toband 20, with the penis shaft resting upon and being supported by rod15. Prior to imparting vibration, by operating switch 12, flexible band20 would be manipulated so as to encirclingly engage the penis head. Onactivating the switch, (1) the rod would both vibrate and support theshaft portion, (2) said shaft portion would be guided and restrained byloop 16, and (3) band 20 would yieldingly restrain the head portionwhile imparting vibratory motion thereto.

Although only a single embodiment has been described, it should beobvious that a certain number of modifications would be possible by oneskilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention,the scope of which is intended to be limited only by the followingclaims.

I claim:

1. In a device for imparting vibratory motion to an organ of a user, thecombination of:

a combination hand grip portion and source of vibrations;

a support member affixed to and extending outward of said housing;

a flexible member linked to said support member near said members endopposite from said housing; and

guide means provided said support member intermediate said housing andsaid flexible members end, said flexible member and said guide meansforming means for holding portions of the organ to the support member.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein said flexible membet is an elasticband.

3. The device of claim 2 wherein said guide means is a loop.

4. The device of claim 1 wherein said guide means is aloop.

1. In a device for imparting vibratory motion to an organ of a user, thecombination of: a combination hand grip portion and source ofvibrations; a support member affixed to and extending outward of saidhousing; a flexible member linked to said support member near saidmembers end opposite from said housing; and guide means provided saidsupport member intermediate said housing and said flexible members end,said flexible member and said guide means forming means for holdingportions of the organ to the support member.
 2. The device of claim 1wherein said flexible member is an elastic band.
 3. The device of claim2 wherein said guide means is a loop.
 4. The device of claim 1 whereinsaid guide means is a loop.
